Genius Son My name is Aji
Advice And Message from Father

Three days later, Elisha's father had improved. During these three days as well, Elisha and Aji were in the hospital, accompanying his father.

"Sir, soon, Elisha's graduation. You get well quickly, so you can come to the graduation ceremony Elisha," said Elisha, giving good news to his father.

"Thank God. You can finally finish college and will be graduating soon. Don't forget, thank your husband, who has helped and always supported your activities all this time."

"Yes sir, definitely. Pray for Elisha to stay together with brother Aji and quickly get momongan ya sir. El wants to be able to get pregnant, when she has finished college and graduation, in order to focus on Elisha's pregnancy later." Elisa, back to tell me about her desire for the future.

"Yes, I always pray the best for you El. You must not make your husband angry and upset with your attitude, huh?" his father said, giving advice.

"Njeh Sir. Elisha will remember all of your messages." Elisha nodded obediently to the advice given to his father.

"Rest. You also want to rest first."

Elisha nodded, as his father said he wanted to rest and asked him to rest as well.

After fixing her father's blanket position, Elisha walked towards the sofa, where her husband was working on his office work, in a waiting place for patients.

"Sister," call Elisha short.

Aji raised his head, looking towards Elisha.

"Me, just take a little rest. If there's something you need, wake up El yes" Elisha said, fixing the little pillow on the couch next to her husband.

"Here, rest first" replied Aji, patting the sofa next door.

After Elisha fell asleep, and his father also seemed to have fallen asleep as well, Aji continued his work. But, shortly thereafter, his father called himself, in order to get closer to the patient's bed.

"Nang, Aji." His father Elisha, indeed Aji, when he saw Elisha sleeping on the sofa waiting.

(Nang, the name for a boy, the opposite of Nduk, commonly used by the Javanese)

"Yes sir" said Aji, then walked closer to his father's bed.

"Thank you Yo Nang, you've taken care of Elisha. I ordered, don't let him cry. Father believes in you. You put your son, yes" said his father long, with a weak voice.

"Sir. That's Aji's obligation. Elisha is Aji's wife, so you don't have to worry about it" Aji replied, smiling and nodding. He didn't know what his father really wanted to say.

"Yes, you know that. If he's wrong, scold him well and quietly. Don't you be hard on her, because she herself is actually hard, even though she's actually fragile."

Aji, listen to all the advice of his father-in-law. He felt that something was going to happen, although Aji was also unsure of his own thinking.

"Njeh Pak," replied Aji, imitating the words of the Javanese if he answered obediently.

He smiled with a more calm face. He raises his hand to grab Aji's hand, his daughter-in-law.

"I'm sorry, if you've been wrong and troublesome all this time" said the father again, to Aji for the umpteenth time.

Aji, just nod with a smile. He didn't know what his father really wanted to say, until he saw a heart rate-detection monitor.

Aji's eyes widened, because he was not aware that his father was in a critical state. That means, all the words he said earlier, is a last message for him, in order to be able to take care of his son, Elisha, who incidentally is his own wife.

With a quick movement, Aji pressed the patient button, to call the team of doctors and nurses.

"El, honey wake up!" aji shouted, calling Elisha, to get up quickly.

Surprised, Elisha opened his eyes, having never heard Aji's loud voice, while calling out his name.

"Ad... What's wrong, sister.." asked Elisha nervously. But, he did not continue his question, seeing Aji, who was busy in front of the patient bed, where his father was lying in a weakened state.

Elisha shouted loudly, coinciding with the arrival of the doctor with two nurses who followed from behind.

"Please wait outside Ma'am, Mas."

A nurse, asking Elisha and Aji, to wait outside, so they can do their job better.

"Mr..."

Aji, hugged Elisha from the side, and led him out of his father's patient room.

"We wait outside. Let the doctor take good care of the father" Aji asked, calming his wife.

"But... But, you can recover, right, sister?" elisha asked, with tears in his eyes.

"We pray the best for you, yes" replied Aji, still hugging Elisha.

Elisha nodded. She is now silent in her husband's arms, though her sobs are still heard occasionally.

A few minutes later, the doctor came out with his face down. Aji, who saw it, already knew and understood, what was going on with his father-in-law.

"I'm sorry, we've been trying, but God loves him more." Doctor, said tell the patient he's handling.

Elisha, crying in the arms of her husband. Now, Aji leads Elisha, going inside to see his father's body, before being cleaned by the team from the hospital.

"Honey, don't let your tears make you sad in nature." Aji, advised Elisha, so as not to cry too much. Though, she herself was also crying, even though without a sound, only tears were flowing without her noticing.

*****

The house of Elisha was full of mourners. Neighbors and relatives, both near and far, began to arrive, mourn and pay their last respects to the body of his father Elisha.

Aji, also has given news to where and his papa in Jakarta, so that foam comes to serve his deceased besi.

..."Dad's gone Pa."...

..."Innalilahi... buried when?"...

..."This afternoon Pa."...

..."Papa and mama will be here soon, but no promise can be on time and can participate in the funeral."...

..."Yes Pa, it's okay. Be careful."...

Aji, again busy with the preparation of the burial of his father Elisha.

At night, and when she was finished, Elisha brought the paper he found in his father's room. He had read the message on the paper. The message, written by his father, about a week ago, was in a drawer, where his father used to keep his glasses.

"Bah, you asked Mbah to stay in this house and not to go back home. There are no relatives in Mbah village. So this house, it's also Mbah's house."

Elisha, said to Mbah who had been looking after his father all this time, since his father was a child, and so his nanny also when he was a toddler first.

"But Nduk, Mbah there is nothing to look after anymore. Mbah also can not continue your father's business. Then how's the fate of weaving it later?" tanya Mbah, who does not know the business of the weaving factory and so on.

"Later, it will be taken care of by Paklek. He was sent to my father a month ago. Maybe, you've got a hunch, so he doesn't want everything to get messed up when he leaves."

Sewah nodded while crying. Nor does he know where to go, if he is no longer needed in this house. Fortunately, Elisha's family were good people and treated him like a brother.
